Soil & Fertilizers

मिट्टी की उर्वरता का संरक्षण और जैविक पदार्थों की भूमिका Maintenance of soil fertility is a great problem to our farmers. Cultivation of particular crop year after year in the same field decreases the soil fertility. To increase the soil fertility, it is necessary to check the loss of nutrient and to increase the nutrient content of soil. The following things must be properly followed for increasing the fertility of soil. Proper use of land improve soil fertility Good yield of crop is not possible if we cultivate any crop in any land. So it is necessary to select the crop which is suitable for a particular land. Practical experience will be helpful...

फसल उत्पादन में महत्वपूर्ण भूमिका और नगण्‍य अावश्यकता वाले शुक्ष्‍म तत्‍व (ट्रेस एलीमेंट्स)  For proper growth and development of plants, require essential nutrients which are categorized in two groups on the basis of amount of requirement in plant body as macronutrients (more required) and micronutrients / trace elements (less required). Deficiency of trace elements in soil inhibits plants to complete its life cycle properly which ultimately affect on crop production. Therefore, farmers should give more emphasis on this aspect and extension agency should provide more information on trace elements to farmers for their awareness and better knowledge. Plants require food for growth and development. At the beginning of the new phase of the life...

ताजे खजूर फल गुच्‍छों के अधि‍क उत्पादन हेतु, तेल खजूर (आयल पॉम) में सर्वोत्तम उर्वरक प्रबंधन वि‍धि‍यॉं। Oil palm (Elaeis guineensis Jacq.) is the highest edible oil yielding perennial crop producing two types of oil i.e. crude palm oil and palm kernel oil which are used for domestic and industrial purposes. It produces about 4 to 6 tonnes of crude palm oil and 0.4 to 0.6 tonnes of palm kernel oil per hectare per year during its productive life span from 4th to 30th years. Oil Palm is a heavy feeder and it requires a balanced and adequate supply of macro and micro-nutrients for growth and yield. Fertilizer requirement of Palm Recommended nutrient...

तेल पाम वृक्षारोपण में मिट्टी के नमूने एकत्र करने के लिए सटीक विधि Oil palm is a heavy feeder of nutrients as it produces a very high biomass. Input management plays a major role in plantation crops as the crop remains in the field for a longer period of time. In oil palm plantations fertilizer management proved to play a major role in defining yield potential in terms of Fresh Fruit Bunches (FFB). Soil analysis is an effective method to determine plant nutritional status for suitable fertilizer application.  This includes the collection of representative sample from the soil, estimation of nutrient status and other parameters, calibration and interpretation of analytical results...

Importance of Seed treatment in Agriculture कृषि क्षेत्र की प्राथमिकता उत्पादकता को बनाये रखने तथा बढ़ाने मे बीज का महत्वपूर्ण स्थान है। उत्पादकता बढ़ाने के लिए उत्तम बीज का होना अनिवार्य है। उत्तम बीजों के चुनाव के बाद उनका उचित बीजोपचार भी जरूरी है क्यों कि बहुत से रोग बीजो से फैलते है। अतः रोग जनको, कीटों एवं असामान्य परिस्थितियों से बीज को बचाने के लिए बीजोपचार एक महत्वपूर्ण उपाय है। बीजोपचार के लाभ अनुसंधान द्वारा पाया गया कि बीजोपचार के लाभ उत्तम पौधों, अच्छी गुणवत्ता, ऊँची पैदावार और रोगों तथा कीट नियंत्रण मे लगी पूंजी पर अच्छी आय के रूप में दिखाई देते है। परंतु आज भी ऐसे किसानों की संख्या बहुत अधिक है,...

मृदा की अम्‍लता भारत में फसलोंत्‍पादन सीमि‍त करने का एक बडा कारक है। Soil reaction is a very important chemical property of the soil. It is measured in terms of pH. The soils having pH 7 are neutral in reaction and those below or above 7 are acidic or alkaline respectively. In neutral soils, satisfactory plant growth can be expected, provided all other agronomic practices are followed properly. But neither acid soils nor saline soils are suitable for most of the crops except a few tolerant ones. Acidity or salinity acts as a limiting factor in crop production. When the concentration of some elements which are naturally acidic in reaction, goes too high...

पोषक तत्व उपयोग दक्षता और फसल उत्पादन बढ़ाने के लिए वनस्‍पति‍क उर्वरीकरण Foliar fertilizationis a technique of feeding plants by applying liquid fertilizer directly to their leaves. Foliar feeding has been used as a means of giving supplemental doses of major and minor nutrients, plant hormones, stimulants and other beneficial substances. Observed effects of foliar fertilization included yield increases, resistance to diseases and insect/pests, improved drought tolerance and enhanced crop quality. Plant response is dependent on species, fertilizer form, concentration and frequency of application as well as the stage of plant growth. Foliar applications are often time to coincide with specific vegetative or fruiting stages of growth. The soil application of any fertilizer...

सब्जी उत्पादन में एकीकृत पोषक प्रबंधन Integrated nutrient management (INM) is an approach to soil fertility management that combines organic and mineral methods of soil fertilization with physical and biological measures for soil and water conservation. INM adopts a holistic view of plant nutrient management by considering the totality of the farm resources that can be used as plant nutrients. Integrated nutrient management is based on three fundamental principles: maximize the use of organic material ensure access to inorganic fertilizer and improve the efficiency of its use minimize losses of plant nutrients Research gaps in integrated nutrient management The research gaps include: Mismatching of INM practices developed at research stations with the farmers resources and their...
